In a surprising move within the crypto market, XRP has surpassed Ethereum (ETH) in a key valuation metric: Fully Diluted Market Capitalization (FDMC). While Ethereum has been in a downtrend this bull cycle, XRP’s performance over the last six months has been nothing short of impressive, leading to it quietly overtaking the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. XRP Flips Ethereum In FDMC Edward Farina, a crypto analyst and outspoken XRP supporter, took to X (formerly Twitter) on April 18 to announce that XRP has officially overtaken Ethereum in terms of Fully Diluted Market Capitalization. The FDMC represents the total potential value of a cryptocurrency if all of its tokens were in circulation. Related Reading: Why XRP Could Beat Dogecoin, Solana In ETF Race And Trigger A Price Surge This metric is usually calculated by multiplying a cryptocurrency’s current price by its maximum token supply. This contrasts with the more commonly referenced market capitalization metric, which only factors in circulating supply. At the time of his post, Farina reported that XRP’s FDMC had reached $208.4 billion, surpassing Ethereum’s $192.5 billion by approximately $15.9 billion. This marks over six consecutive months of XRP outperforming Ethereum in terms of projected value, signaling a potential shift in altcoin dominance between the two leading cryptocurrencies. Despite XRP’s FDMC milestone, it’s worth noting that Ethereum’s current market capitalization remains significantly higher. As of writing, ETH’s market cap is estimated at $199.14 billion, compared to XRP’s $124.3 billion, reflecting a difference of around $74.84 billion. The key reason for this discrepancy between XRP’s market capitalization and FDMC lies in its unique token structure. A significant portion of XRP’s supply is held in escrow, meaning those tokens are not yet available in the open market. While they do not count toward the circulating supply, they are included in its Fully Diluted Market Capitalization. The implication behind this distinction remains clear: if all of XRP’s tokens in escrow were unlocked and circulated today, its market value could exceed that of Ethereum. As the altcoin steadily gains momentum in valuation metrics and investor interest, it could pose a significant challenge to Ethereum’s position as the number one altcoin and second-largest cryptocurrency. Bollinger Bands Signal Major Move In The Altcoin Price The XRP price could be gearing up for a significant move upward as technical chart indicators point toward rising volatility. A recent analysis of the 4-hour chart by crypto analyst Ali Martínez shows Bollinger Bands tightening — a classic signal that often precedes a breakout.

Ripple is again breaking into the Asia market with a new XRP product, which would help drive institutional adoption. This move has been made in partnership with HashKey Capital, which launched this fund in order to expand institutional access to the altcoin. Ripple Invests In HashKey’s XRP Product In an X post, Hashkey Capital announced that it is launching Asia’s first XRP Tracker Fund with Ripple as an early investor. The asset manager noted that this move represents a significant step in expanding institutional access to XRP. Related Reading: Cardano Price Surge To $1.7: Here Are The Factors To Drive The Recovery The firm further stated that it chose XRP because the altcoin is at the forefront of cross-border payments, thanks to Ripple’s payment services, and enables faster, cheaper, and more efficient transactions than traditional systems, such as SWIFT. XRP is also enabling the tokenization of Real World Assets (RWAs) on its native blockchain, the XRP Ledger (XRPL). HashKey added that financial institutions and enterprises worldwide are already using XRP. The asset manager also noted that the XRP Tracker Fund is its third tracker fund, following its Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The firm also raised the possibility of converting the fund into an ETF within the next one to two years, subject to regulatory approval. This move will further broaden institutional access. Beyond the XRP Tracker Fund, HashKey Capital and Ripple are also partnering to explore new investment products, cross-border DeFi solutions, and tokenization. This includes the potential launch of a money market fund (MMF) on the XRPL. Meanwhile, for the tracker fund, Ripple will seed the initial investment. Hashkey stated that with Ripple as an anchor investor, this fund marks a “deepening collaboration” between two leaders in the blockchain space. The asset manager reaffirmed that the goal is to bring more institutional capital into regulated XRP products and the broader digital asset ecosystem. Ripple continues to make moves to boost XRP’s adoption. The crypto firm recently agreed to acquire prime broker Hidden Road for $1.25 billion, one of the largest deals in crypto history. Through this acquisition, the crypto firm aims to boost XRP and the RLUSD’s utility as it looks to make its mark in both the traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) space. XRP Could Allegedly Play A Major Role in The Federal Reserve’s Plans In an X post, crypto commentator CryptoGeek alleged that the Federal Reserve has officially hinted that they may use XRP to power the blockchain component of their FedNow payment system. CryptoGeek added that this has come following multiple rumored meetings with Ripple. However, the Fed has yet to make any official statement on this development.

The crypto firm is nearly in the clear with its lawsuit against the US SEC, as the court recently granted a joint motion to pause the appeal case while they finalize their settlement. As such, with the long-running legal battle almost out of the way, these institutions will be more inclined to partner with Ripple. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com
XRP is still in consolidation mode after hitting a new seven-year high in January 2025. This consolidation has seen the price drop slowly, but steadily, losing around 40% of its value since then. Currently, bulls seem to have created support for the altcoin at $2, as this level continues to hold even through crashes. Thus, it has created the expectation that the bottom could be close for the XRP price, and this could serve as a bounce-off point. XRP Price Consolidation Could Be Over Soon Taking to X (formerly Twitter), crypto analyst Dark Defender revealed that the consolidation that the XRP Price has been stuck in for months now is coming to an end. The analyst used the monthly chart for the analysis, calling out an end and a bottom for the XRP price. According to him, this is actually the “Final Consolidation” for XRP, suggesting that this is where a breakout would start from. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Eyes Next Critical Level At $0.18, Is A Break Above $0.25 Possible? With the consolidation expected to come to an end soon, the crypto analyst highlights what could be next for the altcoin using the 5-Wave analysis. Now, in total, these five waves are still very bullish for the price and could end up marking a new all-time high. For the first wave, Dark Defender calls it the Impulsive Wave 1, which is expected to begin the uptrend. This first wave is expected to push the price back to $3 before the second wave starts, and this second wave is bearish. The second wave would trigger a crash from $3 back toward $2.2, providing the setup for the third wave. Once the third wave begins, this is where the crypto analyst expects the XRP price to hit a new all-time high. The target for Wave 3 puts the XRP price as high as $5, clearing the 2017 all-time high of $3.8. Next in line is the fourth wave, which is another bearish wave. This wave will cause at least a 30% crash, according to the chart shared by the crypto analyst, taking it back toward the $3 territory once again. However, just like the second bearish wave, the fourth bearish wave is expected to set up the price for a final and more explosive Wave 5. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price To Break $125,000 But Sell Everything In October, Analyst Warns Once the fifth wave is in action, a brand-new all-time high is expected to happen, with the price rising over 100% from the bottom of the fourth wave.

Then, for major supports and resistances, supports are $1.88 and $1.63, while resistances lie at $2.22 and $2.30. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

XRP is making headlines this month as whale activity surges across the network. In a surprising twist, reports indicate that XRP whales have dumped more than $700 million worth of tokens just this April. This sudden shift in whale behavior raises the question of what these big players are really up to. XRP Whales Offload 370 Million Tokens In April On April 15, prominent crypto analyst Ali Martínez reported on X (formerly Twitter) that XRP whales have begun dumping the popular cryptocurrency in large volumes. Following a period of substantial token accumulation, these large-scale investors have sold over 370 million XRP since the beginning of April. Related Reading: Trump-Powered Rally Triggers Heavy Dumping From XRP Whales, Here’s How Much Notably, this massive whale sell-off amounts to over $700 million, triggering a wave of speculation about the intentions behind this move. More interestingly, the XRP dumps appear to align with recent price fluctuations, as whales tend to heavily influence market dynamics, especially during a downturn. The Santiment chart provided by Martinez reveals a clear trend, from April 3 to 14, 2025, that XRP wallets holding between 100 million to 1 billion tokens have drastically reduced their holdings. As this large-scale whale dumping progressed, the XRP price dropped to new lows around April 8 and then began a steady climb, reaching $2.1 at the time of writing. While the reason behind such large-scale exits is unclear, a few plausible explanations exist. Whales might be capitalizing on earlier price gains to lock in profits while the market conditions for XRP remain relatively stable. These investors could also be responding to heightened market volatility, pushing them to shift their holdings into alternative assets to hedge risks and safeguard against losses. Another possibility is that these big players are selling tokens between wallets or transferring them to exchanges in anticipation of a significant event — perhaps the final legal decision between Ripple and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In less optimistic scenarios, such coordinated whale activity, which tends to influence prices, may be indicative of market manipulation, often aimed at achieving strategic gains. Although it’s uncertain whether the above motives are driving recent whale dumps, one thing is clear: large-scale XRP movements always warrant close attention. With XRP now hovering around $2, the market waits to see just how these sell-offs will influence the future price of the cryptocurrency. Update On Latest XRP Price Action According to crypto analyst Andrew Griffiths, the current XRP price analysis indicates a notably bullish trend. This momentum emerged after the cryptocurrency surpassed two key resistance levels and established a solid support level, signaling a potential upward movement. Related Reading: XRP Price Reversal Toward $3.5 In The Works With Short And Long-Term Targets Revealed As a result, the analyst predicts that XRP could record a massive gain of over 20% in the coming weeks. With the token currently trading at $2.10, a 20% increase would bring it to approximately $2.589. Based on the upward trajectory within the Ascending Channel seen on the price chart, the analyst predicts that XRP could climb as high as $3.3. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com
XRP remains one of the most popular coins in the market, with a cult-like community that has supported it for years. With the bullish sentiment surrounding it, the altcoin has performed quite well and continues to inspire support. The most recent developments for XRP have been the ETF filings that suggest it might be the next altcoin to get an SEC nod after Ethereum. The number of filings also puts it well ahead of investor favorites such as Solana and Dogecoin in the running for the next ETF approval. XRP ETF Filings Climb To 10 XRP ETF filings have been coming out of the market over the past year, especially with the approvals of Ethereum Spot ETFs. These ETFs are expected to give institutional investors an official vehicle to get proper exposure to the market. As Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have been done and dusted, issuers have looked to other large cap altcoins to bring into the market. Related Reading: Analyst Who Called Dogecoin Price Rally In 2024 Predicts 300% Rally In April The next favorites on the list have been XRP, in addition to heavy hitters such as Solana, Dogecoin, and Litecoin. However, in the race, XRP has clearly differentiated itself in terms of interest, boasting twice as many filings as any other altcoin. According to data from Kaito Research, there are currently 10 XRP ETF filings pending approval or rejection from the SEC. In contrast, there are five Solana ETF filings, 3 Litecoin filing, and 3 Dogecoin filings. This shows clearly that interest in XRP as the next altcoin to gain ETF approval is the highest. Additionally, the SEC has acknowledged the XRP ETF filings from industry leaders such as Grayscale. There are also filings from ProShares, Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, 21Shares, among others. However, BlackRock has not made a move to file for an XRP ETF despite leading the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF campaigns. Nevertheless, the filings for XRP ETFs remain a big deal for the altcoinm and their approval could trigger another wave of price hikes. ETFs And The SEC Battle Conclusion For many, the major hindrance to an SEC approval of an XRP ETF was the ongoing battle between the crypto firm and the regulator, which began in 2020. However, in March 2025, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced that the case was officially over. Related Reading: Is The XRP Price Mirroring Bitcoin’s Macro Action? Analyst Maps Out How It Could Get To $71 With this development, expectations that the regulator will look favorably upon an XRP ETF are high. If the ETFs are approved, even with a fraction of the Bitcoin ETF volumes, the XRP price is expected to explode in response, with some analysts predicting that the altcoin’s price could rise to the double-digits.

XRP recent surge appears to be entering a cooling phase as the price edges lower to the $1.97 level, an area acting as a pivotal support. After a strong upward move fueled by improved market sentiment, the current pullback signals a potential pause rather than a full reversal. The $1.97 zone now stands as a critical support level, previously acting as resistance during XRP’s recent climb. If buyers step in with strength and volume begins to rise, this dip could prove to be a strategic entry point for those eyeing the next breakout. Key Support Holds At $1.97 – Is XRP Building A Base? XRP’s pullback to the $1.97 level has brought attention to the critical support zone that may serve as a foundation for the next leg up. Despite broader market fluctuations, price action has shown resilience around this area, with buyers stepping in to defend the level. Historically, $1.97 has acted as a pivotal point during previous rallies and corrections, increasing its significance as a potential accumulation zone. Related Reading: XRP Price Pulls Back: Healthy Correction or Start of a Fresh Downtrend? The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is beginning to flash early signs of a potential bullish reversal for XRP. After the recent dip to $1.97, the MACD line is showing signs of converging toward the signal line, hinting that bearish momentum may be losing steam. This subtle shift often precedes a reversal and suggests that buyers are gradually regaining control. Should the MACD complete a bullish crossover, where the MACD line crosses above the signal line, it will reinforce the argument for a rebound. When paired with XRP’s position above key support, such a signal could confirm that market sentiment is tilting in favor of the bulls. A strengthening MACD histogram, reflecting diminishing downside pressure, would further validate this shift and add weight to the case for an upward move in the coming sessions. Bulls On Standby: What Needs To Happen For A Breakout Several key conditions must be met before momentum shifts decisively in the bulls’ favor as XRP’s price action nears the $1.97 support zone. First, XRP needs to firmly establish $1.97 as a solid base, with multiple successful defenses of this level reinforcing buyer confidence. A rebound from this zone would signal underlying strength and provide the first step toward an upside breakout. Related Reading: XRP Must Break Above $3 To Invalidate Bearish Pattern And Flip Bullish – Analyst Secondly, volume needs to step in. A breakout without a noticeable increase in trading volume risks being a false move. Sustained buying pressure would confirm that market participants are positioned for a trend reversal. Additionally, a decisive break above nearby resistance levels such as $2.25 or higher would invalidate the current consolidation phase and open the door for further gains. Lastly, indicators like the RSI and MACD must align with the bullish narrative. A rising RSI, without entering overbought territory, and a bullish MACD crossover would solidify the technical foundation for an upward move. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
XRP is back trading above, $2, and bullish momentum is gradually creeping back compared to its price action at the end of March and beginning of April. Crypto analyst EGRAG CRYPTO believes this week could highlight a turning point for a full flip into bullish momentum, and how the XRP price closes out the week will be very important. According to the analyst’s outlook, which was posted on social media platform X, the current XRP candle on the weekly timeframe is hovering just above both $2.10 and the 21-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA). However, he noted that the real confirmation lies with if XRP can manage to close the week with a full-bodied candle above $2.25. Why Is $2.25 Important For XRP’s Price? The $2.25 level has now become more than just another short-term resistance. It is what EGRAG considers the final barrier to validating the recovery structure forming after March and April’s sharp retracement. His weekly chart shows XRP climbing out from a significant low after bouncing off the 0.888 Fib extension level and now stabilizing above the yellow 21-week EMA line. Related Reading: XRP To Flip Bitcoin This Cycle? Analyst Points To Major Bounce The alignment of XRP’s price above both the $2.10 price level and this moving average adds credibility to the potential of a bullish continuation, but EGRAG makes it clear that a weekly close above $2.25 is the “lock-in” point. From a technical standpoint, this would mark the first full-bodied weekly candle above the 21W EMA since the past four weeks. If achieved, this can be interpreted confirmation that bulls have regained dominance and that a bottom was established on April 7. Furthermore, it suggests that the April 7 bottom will continue to hold as support going forward. The chart also outlines close price targets at $2.51 and $2.60, with Fibonacci extension levels projecting even higher zones at $2.69 on the way to crossing back above $3. Failing To Close Above $2.25 Could Reintroduce Unwanted Narratives EGRAG also issued a cautionary note in case there isn’t a clean breakout. Should XRP fail to close the weekly candle above $2.25, he warned it could trigger a return of bearish narratives, including what he referred to as a possible “tariff issue.” This is referring to the recent tariff back-and-forth between the US and China in the past month, which has unbalanced the investment markets. Related Reading: Crypto Pundit Reveals What Will Happen If XRP Price Does Not Break $2.3 A strong rejection could see the XRP price pull back toward the $1.96 Fibonacci level or even lower into the broader support band of around $1.58 to $1.30.

As the XRP price climbs back above the crucial $2 mark, reflecting a 20% surge over the past week, market analysts are increasingly optimistic about the token’s recovery and potential for setting new all-time highs (ATHs). Expert analyst Maelius recently shared insights on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), suggesting that the current market dynamics support a bullish outlook for the XRP price. XRP Price Could Target $10 In Conservative Case Despite the recent price surge, some market participants remain skeptical about XRP’s trajectory. Maelius addressed these concerns, stating, “In a conservative case, I think XRP looks very bullish on higher time frames (HTFs).” Historically, XRP has shown a pattern of respecting the 50-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA) during bull markets. Recently, the asset touched this EMA and rebounded, reinforcing the belief that it is on a positive trajectory. Related Reading: This Bitcoin Pullback Mirrors 2017’s Path To Parabolic Highs, Says Analyst In his social media update, Maelius outlined two scenarios for XRP’s future price movements: a conservative case and a more optimistic base case. In the conservative scenario, Maelius posits that XRP has completed its Wave 3 (W3) of a larger Elliott Wave cycle and is currently finalizing Wave 4. This suggests that XRP could expand into a final Wave 5, targeting $10. The expert assigns a 35% probability to this conservative case, highlighting that price and Relative Strength Index (RSI) behaviors indicate a potential base formation around current levels before reaching new highs later in the year. Maelius’s more optimistic scenario suggests that the top of Wave 3 may not have been reached yet. He points out that the accumulation phase for the XRP price has been longer than in previous cycles, indicating that the market may just be taking more time to develop. In this case, the final W5 could extend into the first or second quarter of the next year, with targets ranging from $15 to $20 or higher. Can Dominance Translate To Price Gains? In addition to the XRP pprice analysis, Maelius examined the token’s market dominance, which indicates the token’s share within the broader cryptocurrency market. The expert noted that while the token’s dominance has been preparing for a final upward move, this does not necessarily correlate with the XRP price reaching new highs. The dominance metric, seen in the image below shared by Maelious, suggests that while XRP might underperform relative to other altcoins, it still has the potential for significant price appreciation.

Historically, XRP’s dominance has experienced two major impulses during previous cycles, each reaching notable resistance areas. However, Maelius cautions that the growing size of the market makes it increasingly challenging for any single asset to achieve the same peaks as in prior cycles.

XRP may have spent the past few weeks struggling to hold above the $2 level, but one analyst believes the recent price action is only in its early stages of a much larger surge. For those who think $3 is a reasonable target, this outlook predicted that the real move could take the altcoin far beyond that mark and possibly much sooner than expected. Multi-Stage Price Path With $10 To $20 The $3 price level has become the psychological and technical battleground for bullish XRP investors this cycle, serving as the most active price point. Earlier in January, the token briefly surged past this level, coming within striking distance of its all-time high of $3.40, before a wave of selling pressure triggered a pullback. Related Reading: XRP Price Forms Rounded Bottom Within Descending Channel, Target Set Above $3 Since then, XRP has seen price corrections that pushed it as low as $1.65 on April 7. Yet, the outlook is once again tilting bullish. XRP has rebounded above $2 and is building a strong base to support another run toward $3. If the current momentum continues to gain traction, reclaiming $3 is not only likely, it could happen within a matter of weeks. One of the boldest predictions comes from a trader known as BarriC, who has laid out a roadmap that extends far beyond the $3 threshold. In a recent post on social media platform X, he forecasted that XRP, now trading near $2.20, will break $3 soon. But his outlook doesn’t stop there. He predicted that by May, the sentiment surrounding XRP could shift so drastically that $5 would be seen as the new “cheap” price for XRP. Taking things a step further, the analyst noted that if the broader crypto market transitions into a full-blown altcoin season, XRP could establish a new short-term trading range between $10 and $20 within the next few months. Utility Run Scenario Places “Cheap” XRP Closer To $1,000 Perhaps the most striking part of BarriC’s analysis comes from what he describes as a “utility run.” This utility run is a scenario where XRP’s real-world use cases as a bridge cryptocurrency start to gain adoption and reflect in its price. Under such conditions, the term “cheap XRP” would apply to prices below $1,000.

As ultra-bullish as it might seem, the analyst’s price prediction isn’t surprising, as the cryptocurrency has been subjected to similar bullish outlooks in the past few days. Beyond bullish price targets, a few analysts now believe that XRP will flip both Ethereum and Bitcoin in the coming months. One such example is analyst Axel Rodd, who cited the breakdown in Bitcoin dominance as a reason why XRP will flip Bitcoin. Similarly, analysts at Standard Chartered recently predicted that the altcoin will flip Ethereum in market cap by 2028. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

A crypto analyst has presented a compelling case, suggesting that the XRP price may be closely mirroring Bitcoin’s historical macro action. By comparing its multi-year chart patterns and market behaviour, the analyst argues that XRP may be gearing up for a significant price rally to $71 and beyond. XRP Price Traces Bitcoin Path To Reach $71 TradingView crypto analyst RizeSenpai has forecasted that XRP could surge explosively to $71. At its current market price, this would represent a staggering 3,281% increase. Related Reading: XRP Price Nears ABC Correction With Clear Targets For Buying The TradingView expert conducted a detailed comparative analysis, drawing striking similarities between Bitcoin’s breakout from its multi-year accumulation range in 2015-2017 and XRP’s current price structure. He points out that XRP’s movements since it was listed on Poloniex in 2014 have closely mirrored Bitcoin’s macro price action but at a slower rate, estimated at 65%. For emphasis, the price chart shows that Bitcoin experienced a sharp surge of 5,424% after consolidating between 2013 and 2016 and finally breaking out in 2017. Similarly, XRP had a big rise in 2017 but has since been stuck trading within a large multi-year range for nearly six years as of the end of 2022. Recently, XRP broke out of its long-term price range and has been consolidating above its old all-time high resistance for several months. Considering its current price action, the analyst assumes that the asset may be attempting to move toward new breakout levels. The TradingView analyst has highlighted the potential for XRP to surge toward a more realistic target of $27 – $30, near the 1.618 Fibonacci Extension level. For reference, he shared a chart comparing Bitcoin’s past bull market breakout and performance with XRP’s current breakout and future price action. The chart reveals that when BTC broke out, it surged toward the 1.618 Fibonacci level at $61,800 before initiating a secondary run that topped at the 1.902 HOP level. As a result, RizeSenpai predicts that if XRP can completely mirror Bitcoin’s performance, it could skyrocket to $27, potentially reaching as high as $71, where the 1.902 HOP level lies. The Token To Surge Above $71 To $120 As mentioned earlier, XRP is still trading within a multi-year range breakout similar to Bitcoin’s in its past cycle. As of writing, XRP’s price sits at $2.13, having declined by more than 11% over the last month. Related Reading: This Analyst Correctly Called The XRP Price Crash, Here Are The Next Targets Notably, if the altcoin replicates the breakout momentum previously seen in Bitcoin, RizeSenpai predicts an explosive 5,400% increase, pushing its price to a very ambitious target of $120.94. This suggests that the TradingView analyst believes that XRP could exceed its previously projected target of $71 and climb past $120. Adding to the weight of this bullish forecast is the presence of a monthly Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) Hidden Bullish Divergence. This technical indicator is often associated with an uptrend continuation and potential upside momentum. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
The XRP price saw a rise in value over the weekend as bulls seemed to return to the table. Since the market has been low over the past few months, investors unsurprisingly took this as an opportunity to get out at a somewhat higher price. This has led to more negative networks over the last few days, adding even more red to the month of April that has been dominated by outflows. XRP’s April Outflows Cross $300 Million According to data from Coinglass, XRP has been struggling with negative net flows for the better part of April, recording more red days than green. Even the green days have been quite muted and have fallen short of the volumes recorded on the red days. With only 13 days gone out the month so far, there has already been more than $300 million in outflows recorded for the month already. Related Reading: Bitcoin Breaks Out: Chart Pattern Targets $96,200 To $102,100 As Next Big Test Zone So far, only four out of the 13 days have ended with positive net flows, coming out to $56.08 million in inflows for the month. In contrast, the other nine days have been dominated by outflows, coming out to $311 million by Sunday. This consistent outflow suggests that sellers are still dominating the market, which explains why the XRP price has continued to remain low throughout this time. Additionally, if this negative net flow trend continues, then the XRP price could suffer further crashes from here. However, in comparison to the last three months, the month of April seems to be recording a slow down when it comes to outflows. For example, months of January and March recorded $150 million outflow days, whereas the highest so far in April has been $90 million, which occurred on April 6. One More Dip Coming? While there has been a return of positive sentiment among XRP investors, bearish expectations still abound, although mainly for the short-term. Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto, a known XRP bull, has pointed out that the altcoin is likely to see another dip in price before a recovery. Nevertheless, the expectations for the long-term are still extremely bullish. Related Reading: Expert Analyst Warns Bitcoin/VIX Is Not Bullish: Bear Market Signals The crypto analyst highlights the possibility for the XRP price to dip to $1.4, but explains that he continues to hold his position. As for how high the price could go, the analyst maintain three major price targets: $7.50, $13, and $27. “For me, I follow the charts with a clear understanding that certain events will unfold, but I stay updated on the news to see what narratives are created to influence market movements,” Egrag Crypto explained.

XRP has staged an impressive recovery to reclaim the $2 price level after plunging to a weekly low of $1.657 in a steep midweek correction. The rebound comes at a crucial time for the cryptocurrency, with analysts paying closer attention to historical price behaviors and bullish technical patterns. Among them is EGRAG CRYPTO, a popular XRP analyst on X, who believes that the cryptocurrency could be on the cusp of a monumental surge reminiscent of its previous bull cycles in 2017 and 2021. The Power Of Time Cycles And Exponential Moving Averages EGRAG’s technical analysis focuses on a recurring structure seen in XRP’s past cycles, using the 21-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and 33-period Moving Average (MA) on the biweekly timeframe. According to his analysis, which was revealed on social media platform X, both the 2017 and 2021 rallies were preceded by similar technical setups: a sustained bottoming process lasting around 770 days followed by a bullish reversal. Related Reading: This Analyst Correctly Called The XRP Price Crash, Here Are The Next Targets These phases were marked by what he described as “blow-off tops,” where XRP posted parabolic gains after bouncing off the 21 and 33 exponential moving averages. The current market structure, EGRAG noted, aligns closely with those previous cycles. After a prolonged bearish trend and a second recorded “bearish cross” in 2022, XRP has once again moved above both the 21 EMA and 33 MA. In his view, this sets the stage for a similar breakout scenario, one that could play out before the end of 2025. EGRAG uses this pattern to suggest a timeline of roughly 770 days from the last major crossover in early 2022, placing the projected breakout target around September 29, 2025. XRP Can Surge To $45 Interestingly, EGRAG’s price prediction based on the premise of how a similar 2017 or 2021 movement can play out for XRP. In 2017, XRP posted a rally of approximately 2,700%, and in 2021, a slightly lower surge of about 1,050%. By mapping those gains onto the current price structure, EGRAG predicted two potential targets: a more conservative $19 level and a bold $45 level. Between these two targets is a mid-range target of $27 which he has previously favored. Related Reading: XRP Price Nears ABC Correction With Clear Targets For Buying However, the analyst warned that while chart patterns offer insight, they are not perfect predictors. In his own words, “Will it rhyme exactly? No, because if it were that easy, everyone would be a multimillionaire.” Still, the emotional patterns of market participants, human reactions and behaviors, tend to repeat to create opportunities where a previous price action might play out again, even if not 100%. The analyst ended his analysis with a strategic note to long-term holders and short-term traders alike, consider a Dollar-Sell-Average (DSA) approach when the XRP price starts to climb. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.04, up by 2.6% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
San Francisco-based Ripple has transferred 200 million XRP tokens, worth approximately $400 million, between company-controlled wallets. The massive movement occurred today and was first spotted by cryptocurrency tracking service Whale Alert. Related Reading: Bitcoin Maxi Takes Aim: Ethereum’s True Value? Lower Than You Think Tracking The Money Trail The transaction initially appeared to be heading to an unknown destination when Whale Alert reported the funds moving to an unidentified address ‘rP4X2…sKxv3’. But blockchain analytics platform Bithomp later clarified that both the sending and receiving wallets belong to Ripple. The receiving wallet was created by Ripple on October 2, 2023, with an initial funding of 70 million XRP. Since its creation, this wallet has only interacted with other Ripple-linked addresses, strengthening the evidence that this was an internal transfer rather than funds moving to an outside entity or exchange. ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? 200,000,000 #XRP (402,739,474 USD) transferred from #Ripple to unknown wallethttps://t.co/cZz7k5fum8 — Whale Alert (@whale_alert) April 11, 2025 Why The Big Money Move According to crypto community figure XRP_Liquidity, who tracks Ripple’s token movements, the transaction represents standard treasury management – Ripple simply shifting money between its own accounts. The 200 million XRP tokens remain untouched at the receiving address, suggesting no immediate plans for their use. The receiving wallet now holds around 290 million XRP tokens, valued at about $577 million as of the current XRP price of $2.04 per token, based on figures by Coingecko. According to historical trends, the funds can be used for various purposes in Ripple’s business operations. They can be used to finance On-Demand Liquidity (recently renamed Ripple Payments), finance exchange-traded products that mirror XRP’s value, or give liquidity to cryptocurrency exchanges where XRP is listed. The Bigger Financial Picture The sending wallet didn’t empty its cash register with this transfer. It still contains 200 million XRP tokens. That wallet had received 300 million XRP on April 2 from another Ripple-linked address, which itself had received 500 million XRP from Ripple’s monthly escrow release. Ripple maintains most of its XRP holdings in escrow accounts, with programmed releases occurring monthly. The April release showed unusual timing compared to Ripple’s standard practice. Related Reading: XRP ETF Launch Impresses Even In Bear Market, Says Analyst Breaking From Routine Ripple broke from its traditional first-of-month schedule for its April token release. Instead of unlocking the funds on April 1, the company first returned 700 million XRP to escrow, then released 1 billion XRP on April 3. This shift in schedule runs counter to Ripple’s established tradition of releasing tokens on the first day of each month, although the company has not commented publicly on its reasoning for this timing change. The wallet transactions are significant, as XRP trades at over $2 per token, giving the cryptocurrency such a high valuation that even normal transfers are worth several hundreds of millions of dollars. These huge transfers are usually followed closely by crypto market watchers, as they can on occasion be indicative of any potential future market move or strategic decision taken by the company.

The XRP price may be gearing up for a historic breakout as a long-term Symmetric Triangle pattern from 2017 resurfaces on the charts. If history repeats and a similar explosive move follows, a crypto analyst predicts XRP could skyrocket to an eye-popping $30. XRP Price Triangle Pattern Signals Breakout Above $30 A new technical analysis by Egrag Crypto, a crypto analyst on X (formerly Twitter), has stirred excitement among XRP supporters, suggesting that the digital asset may be on the brink of a historic price surge and that XRP could jump from its current market value of $2 to reach $30 soon. Related Reading: Crypto Pundit Reveals What Will Happen If XRP Price Does Not Break $2.3 While this figure may seem rather ambitious, Egrag Crypto has identified a massive Symmetrical Triangle formation on XRP’s monthly chart. Interestingly, the analyst has revealed that this pattern is strikingly similar to one that preceded XRP’s legendary 2,600% rally in the 2017 bull market. In the 2017-2018 bull market, XRP had surged to an all-time high of $3.84 in just months. Now, after years of tightening price action within a giant Symmetrical Triangle, the altcoin appears to be breaking out once again, and this time, the analyst predicts that the upside could be even more explosive. According to Egrag Crypto’s chart, if the asset mirrors its previous 2,600% triangle breakout, it could soar from the breakout zone around $1.20 to as high as $32.36. Notably, XRP’s Symmetrical Triangle formation is a classic consolidation pattern that usually results in a bullish surge in the direction of the prevailing trend. Currently, XRP’s all-time high is $3.84. A potential surge to $32.36 would represent a whopping 741.6% increase, propelling its price to a level far exceeding its historical peak. Bullish Pennants Strengthen Symmetrical Triangle Forecast Egrag Crypto’s bullish forecast for XRP is supported by a textbook diagram comparing bullish pennants and symmetrical triangles, both of which point to double target zones once a breakout occurs. The pattern suggests that once the altcoin escapes its multi-year consolidation, the analyst’s projected rally may play out in three stages: an initial pump, followed by a retracement, and a second explosive move. Related Reading: XRP Price Eyes 20% Move With Golden Pocket Appearance The XRP price chart shows a lower target, around $3.52, which aligns with the 1.0 Fibonacci retracement level. This indicates that the token could see a temporary rebound to 3.52, followed by a short-term pullback to the triangle breakout point at $1.20, before ultimately bouncing toward the projected $32.36 target. Notably, this movement aligns with XRP’s current market structure, where it has maintained long-term support and is now showing signs of upward momentum. While historical price patterns offer insights into potential moves, the predicted rise to $32.36 is uncertain, given the magnitude of such a rise.

Despite breaking above $3 earlier this year, the XRP price has since gone on to disappoint investors with multiple crashes that have rocked the altcoin. This has seen the cryptocurrency lose almost 50% of its acquired value between late 2024 and early 2025. Nevertheless, this has failed to erode bullish sentiment, with predictions for higher prices dominating the community. Time To Go Long On The XRP Price? A crypto analyst on X (formerly Twitter) has renewed bullish hope after identifying an important formation on the XRP price chart. The analysis pointed out that the XRP Price is still moving within a descending channel, a formation that usually signals a bearish move. Related Reading: Major Ethereum Whale Dumps 10,000 ETH After 2 Years, Is It Time To Get Out? However, the downtrend has pushed the altcoin’s price to the point where it is now testing the bottom trend line. This bottom trend line has been known to act as strong support previously and is expected to do so this time around. With the support forming, it is likely that the XRP Price is gearing up for a bounce from this level. Furthermore, the crypto analyst points out that XRP is also forming a rounded bottom inside this descending channel. Such a rounded bottom could signal an end to the downtrend from here. As the formation grows, the main level of support is now sitting at $1.6. So far, this level has held up quite nicely and bulls have been using it as a bounce-off point for recovery. Given this, the crypto analyst advises that entries for the XRP price are best at around $1.70 to $1.85. This is not the only good news for the XRP price with support forming. If it holds and the altcoin does indeed bounce from this level toward $2, then the next important levels lie between $2 and $2.2. These serve as the levels for the bulls to beat to confirm a bullish continuation toward a possible all-time high. If the bulls are successful, then three profit targets are placed by the crypto analyst. These include $2.3385, $2.8160, and $3.3062, pushing it toward January 2025 highs. Related Reading: Uncertainty Rocks Market As ETH/BTC Drops To 6-Year Low, Where Is Bitcoin Headed Next? The Bearish Case While the analysis is inherently bullish, there is still the possibility of invalidation that could send the XRP price tumbling further. As the analyst points out, the major support currently lies at $1.6. This means that bulls must hold this level. Otherwise, there is the risk of a much deeper correction as a liquidity sweep could send support further down to $1.3. Nevertheless, with buy sentiments building once again, it is likely that XRP will follow the bullish scenario in this case. Chart from TradingView.com

XRP’s recent recovery has sparked fresh optimism among traders, but what’s happening behind the scenes tells an even more compelling story. This isn’t just a typical bounce; the charts reveal a calculated shift in momentum. Technical indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) are beginning to align, suggesting that XRP is approaching a crucial decision zone. Following the recent downturn in the market, the price is now on a bullish recovery after testing the $1.7 key support level with increasing conviction. If the current momentum continues and resistance zones give way, XRP could be on the verge of a significant breakout. However, failure to build on this momentum could trap the token in another consolidation phase or a deeper retracement. MACD Signals Brewing Bullish Pressure For XRP In a recent post on X, crypto analyst Javon Marks pointed out that XRP’s MACD is approaching a critical breaking point, potentially signaling a shift in market momentum. He emphasized that this MACD indicator is showing signs of a bullish crossover, which could mark the start of a strong upward movement. Related Reading: This Analyst Correctly Called The XRP Price Crash, Here Are The Next Targets Coupled with this, Marks highlighted that XRP is currently holding a key Regular Bullish Divergence, where the price has been making lower lows while the MACD is showing higher lows. This indicates a weakening of bearish pressure, setting the stage for a potential reversal. Marks suggested that this technical setup could be the catalyst for the bulls to take control, potentially leading to a powerful move that breaks through current resistance levels. With this convergence of bullish signals, XRP may be primed for a rally back toward the $3.30+ range, continuing its previous uptrend. Key Levels to Watch: The Exact Breakout And Rejection Zones That Matter In order to fully understand the future movements of XRP, it’s crucial to pinpoint the key levels that will either drive the price higher or cause a reversal. Firstly, the breakout zone for the altcoin lies around the $1.97 resistance level. Related Reading: XRP Bulls Eye $5 Target: Key Levels To Watch For Potential Breakout If the price manages to surpass this threshold with strong volume, it could trigger a surge towards higher levels, including $2.64 and $2.92. This breakout would likely confirm the upward momentum suggested by the MACD and the regular bullish divergence. On the other hand, a rejection at the $1.97 resistance level might signal a lack of buying interest. Should the asst fail to break above this level, the price could pull back toward lower support levels like $1.7 or even $1.34. A failure to hold these support levels would trigger the potential for a more substantial downturn, with bears regaining control. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto analyst Joao, who correctly predicted the XRP price crash, has revealed the altcoin’s next targets. Based on his latest prediction, more pain could lie ahead for XRP, which could still drop below $1. What’s Next For The XRP Price After The Crash Below $2 In a TradingView post, Joao stated that a long-term distribution phase could be the “most chaotic scenario” for the XRP price following its crash below $2. Through his accompanying chart, the analyst illustrated a “radical distribution scheme” that could potentially extend into late 2025. Related Reading: XRP Price Chart Flashes Inverse Head And Shoulders Pattern That Could Trigger Rally To $3.9 Joao remarked that the XRP price could first show a sign of weakness, dropping below the COVID dump levels, possibly close to $0.10. As that plays out, XRP could follow the Scheme 1 or 2 trajectory. For Scheme 1, the analyst predicts that XRP would drop to $0.1 and then bounce back to $0.4, which is the last point of supply. On the other hand, if Scheme 2 plays out, he predicts that the XRP price could spike between $5 and $6.8, with an average peak around $5.5 to $5.7, which would likely trigger extreme euphoria. Joao warned that this is just one of the “insane” possibilities and that XRP’s price action will depend heavily on Bitcoin, market makers, supply and demand, public interest, and the macro market. Crypto analyst John also recently warned that the XRP price retracement could deepen to mid-2024 levels, with the altcoin dropping to the Fib price level of $0.3827. The analyst highlighted a bearish engulfing that formed on XRP’s weekly chart in late March, which is why he believes that the altcoin could still drop to these lows. Meanwhile, crypto analyst Egrag Crypto stated that based on an ascending broadening wedge, there is a 70% chance of a downside breakout and a 30% chance of a move to the upside. He claimed that the measured move for the downside breakout for the XRP price is $0.65. $1.90 Has Become Resistance For The Altcoin In an X post, crypto analyst CasiTrades revealed that $1.90 has become a major resistance to the XRP price. She noted that the altcoin’s price fell to around $1.61 following the Black Monday crash on April 7. This low is said to have made new extremes on the RSI across the market, and it was just shy of major support. Related Reading: XRP Flashes Descending Trendline, Why A Surge To $4 Is Still In The Cards The XRP price has since rebounded to test the $1.90 level, which CasiTrades affirmed is a major resistance at this point. She remarked that the next support is $1.55, the golden .618 retracement. The analyst added that this price action is exactly what sets up the kind of Wave 3 that breaks through all-time highs (ATHs). In line with this, CasiTrades claimed that if the XRP price bottoms near $1.55, it would actually strengthen the bullish case for a rally to between $8 and $13 this month. She believes that XRP would easily break the resistance around its ATH on this Wave 3 and possibly send it to as high as $13. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.8, up over 10% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Medium, chart from Tradingview.com
Ripple Labs has announced a major acquisition to shock the market out of an otherwise dreadful week. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the crypto firm announced that it has acquired Hidden Road, a brokerage, clearing, and financing firm as it moves forward in its mission to become the leader for institutional investors moving into the digital assets space. Ripple Acquires Hidden Road For $1.25 Billion The Tuesday announcement by Ripple has further solidified the mission that the crypto firm has long put forward, and that is to provide instant and quick transfer of value for traditional and institutional investors coming into the digital assets space. Related Reading: Crypto Pundit Reveals What Will Happen If XRP Price Does Not Break $2.3 As CEO Brad Garlinghouse explained in a separate X post, the decision to acquire Hidden Road for $1.25 billion comes after a long-standing customer relationship with the company. Garlinghouse revealed that Ripple understands the breadth of Hidden Road’s expertise, making it a prime candidate for the acquisition. The integration of the XRP Ledger by Hidden Road will allow for cheap and fast movement of value to the brokerage’s customers, which moves over $3 trillion annually. A portion of this massive value is expected to move through the ledger, as well as using the RLUSD stablecoin as collateral for brokerage services. Additionally, Hidden Road will be able to expand its capacity for value transfer, allowing Ripple to process even more volume. “With this deal and the backing of Ripple’s significant balance sheet, Hidden Road will exponentially expand its capacity to service its pipeline and become the largest non-bank prime broker globally,” Garlinghouse’s post read. This acquisition comes after Ripple acquired Standard Custody back in February 2024. Standard Custody provided an online platform offering clients digital asset custody solutions, enabling Ripple to move into the custody market as well. XRP Price Responds Despite the Ripple announcement, the XRP price has remained muted as it continues to struggle below $2, which has since turned to resistance. At the time of writing, XRP is still holding at $1.96, despite its almost 10% in the last 24 hours. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Warns Of Volume Drop That Could Trigger 60% Bitcoin Price Crash To $49,000 According to data from Coinmarketcap, the XRP daily trading volume has seen a notable decline, dropping approximately 24% in the last day.

A recovery from here is highly dependent on Bitcoin, which continues to dominate the market and lead the charge. Chart from Tradingview.com

Amidst ongoing market instability and volatility, the XRP price maintained support levels, even as many altcoins crashed this past week. A well-known crypto pundit has spotlighted a critical resistance level at $2.3, saying that XRP’s next move will largely depend on whether it can successfully break through this barrier. XRP Price At $2.3: A Make Or Break Point According to AMCrypto, an analyst on X (formerly Twitter), XRP had been maintaining strong support at $2. Compared to other altcoins that experienced severe price crashes earlier this year, XRP was one of the few that didn’t fall below the February capitulation price. Related Reading: XRP Price Set For ‘Hot’ April With Low Fibonacci Levels And High $5-$8 Target The $2 price level was a key support zone that acted as a barrier for XRP, as buyers stepped in to prevent further price decline. Notably, XRP had been consolidating just above this point for the past few months, showing immense resilience amid broader market volatility driven by news of the United States (US) tariff plans. However, recently XRP has dropped below $2 and is now trading at $1.68. AMCrypto has shared a price chart, highlighting that XRP recently broke out of a Descending Triangle pattern — a formation usually associated with strong price moves. However, for this breakout to have real momentum, the altcoin must push past the critical resistance level at $2.3. If XRP manages to clear this resistance level, the analyst predicts that its price could experience a rapid push toward the $3.00 – $3.20 region, marking new highs. Looking at the analyst’s price chart, historically, the token has experienced two strong breakouts from similar Descending Triangles. The most recent triangle saw XRP break above the $2.3 resistance zone with strong bullish candles. AMCrypto has warned that without a decisive breakout above the $2.3 resistance, XRP’s price action will likely remain confined in a wider consolidation range. This does not bode well for a short-term momentum, as it would limit further upward movement for the cryptocurrency until stronger bullish confirmation emerges. Analyst Predicts Price Crash To $0.6 The XRP price appears to be mirroring the broader market’s bearish trend, plunging by approximately 20% in the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap. The cryptocurrency has also declined by 30% over the past month, highlighting sustained downward pressure and waning investor confidence. Related Reading: Analyst Unveils Extended XRP Price Target To $44, Reveals When To Take Profits In a recent post on X, crypto analyst Jesse Colombo pointed out XRP’s recent breakdown below key support zones, warning that the cryptocurrency is likely headed for an even deeper price crash to $0.6. The analyst highlighted the formation of a Head and Shoulder pattern on the price chart, a classic bearish reversal signal that often precedes a significant downward move. With XRP’s price currently trading at $1.68, a decline to $0.6 would represent a significant 64% decrease. Notably, AMCrypto has identified new support levels between $2 and $2.2, indicating that a rebound to this range could act as a critical barrier against further downside for the altcoin.
